He listens and treats patients with respect and as individuals and care is not cookie cutter. Some doctors have all their patients on the same meds not Dr. Karasek. and he discloses his partnerships.

Dr. Karasek has done a tremendous job relieving the pain in my back. However, I rarely see him otherwise. I normally see his PA's. And they are great! They take their time, very educational, very understanding.

Dr. Karasek has always been professional but at times I have felt more like a number than a patient. However every time I have had a question he always answered openly and honestly. I have recommended him to other people when in the hospital or just having a conversation. Dr. Karasek is extremely knowledgeable and for right in answering all questions. He is patient and understanding regarding each person with explaining procedures.

He was very helpful with my mother and explained the procedure to her and I. He checked on her after the procedure and asked if we had any other questions. The staff was very nice and friendly. I would recommend this Dr. to family and friends. When we called to set up an urgent appt. they gave us one that was a week out and if there were any cancellations, they would contact us and they did the very next day and we were in .....
